    Kathryn Tyler’s, The Tethered Generation suggests that the millennial generation has been so influenced by new technologies their entire lives, that it has made them less independent than their parents’ generation and more likely to hover over their children’s lives as “helicopter parents”. Tyler uses the story of Kate Achille to give readers an example specifically from a millenial in order to connect to the target audience. She also uses comparison and contrast, antithesis, argumentation, and a research study. Tyler intends to help give this generation and the companies that will be hiring this generation a better understanding of the role of technology in their lives and how it affects the way they think and work. Kathryn Tyler suggests that it will take a lot more than it used to in order to successfully transition the millennial generation into the workforce.…

They take for granted the ease of access and the quick flow of information, a thing unlike any prior generation. Some may even say that they abuse their use of technology by using it at inappropriate or unnecessary times. Next, the generation’s expectations are far too high when looking for a job. David Bass takes this side of the argument.…

    The author did a good job of describing an ideal millennial from my point of view due to the fact that I have experienced multiple scenarios in which the author stated. I agree with Matchar 's statement on cheering on the millennials because they are indeed changing the workforce for those who never took a chance in stepping up to the disadvantages. “Why do we have to meet in an office cross-country when we can call in remotely via Skype” states Megan Broussard, a 25-year-old who quit her job as a PR firm for a large company. This clearly shows that Gen Y individuals are also making it easier for other employees as well as the employers to create a more convenient environment. This also shows that some Gen Y workers are infact “spoiled” because a majority do leave if they don’t get what they want.…
